Slightly Later, Slightly Drunker

Let's be clear about one thing: this is not a cop out.

This is not to say that there isn't part of my that's glad that this whole race thing might not turn out to be as balls out as I had imagined. Sure, there's part of my that's glad that I have this excuse and that thinks maybe now I can just enjoy myself, but that's not it, is it? I'm going to do this and I'm going to train for this as best I can, even if that means nothing but swimming and aqua jogging til race day.

I'm sure I had more to say about this, but somewhere between starting to write this and finishing, there was poker night with the lads and all that, and now slightly drunker has become shnockered, so I'm going to bed on the couch and I'm going to say this just this one last time: This Is Not A @#$%! Cop-Out. I'm doing this race whether you like it or not.

So there.
